You love the beach… Beautiful ocean, warm weather and ball games, what’s not to love!
Well, actually there’s one small teeny thing… Sand! Sand does not only stick to your feet; it gets on your towel, then into your lotion and onto all the other goodies you have brought along. After the day is done, it magically comes home with you. It goes on to sprinkle your kitchen floor and bathroom like a contagious virus.

What is Darbha Grass?
Darbha grass, also known as Panic or Kusha grass, is traditionally used as part of Hindu rituals. It plays an important role in the Hindi way of life. The grass has sacred relevance and is believed to have healing and purifying properties. It is quite fitting if you will be using yours for meditation or yoga.
The Darbha mat also has significance in Buddhism. It is believed that Buddha was meditating while sitting on a Darbha mat when he first became enlightened.
What do the scientists say?
Scientists who have completed studies on Darbha grass, reported that the grass absorbs about 60% of radiation that it is exposed to. This has been taken as supporting evidence that it may in fact also absorb other negative radiation in our environment.
Yoga Anyone?
When used for yoga, best you have grass or a carpet underneath it to avoid slipping. If you plan to use it on a tiled or a wooden floor, place a plastic yoga mat under it for added stability. It can also be used as a floor carpet but is not designed to handle excessive foot traffic, so may wear under more extreme conditions.
